Terrible mock. He doesn't have Mason Rudolph in the first! He knows nothing. ;) 

 

Anyway, I'm am starting to feel like the Giants could want Barkley. If he is there at two they won't trade out. If the Browns take him at one, they will trade out. Breer mentions that the Giants love Barkley and Nelson. 

 

This is all contingent on the Giants not wanting a quarterback, but I think we we could have standing offers for the 2 and 4 picks. If the Browns go QB and the Giants get Barkley, the Browns probably trade us 4. If the Browns take Barkley, the Giants maybe trade out with us, and the Browns get a quarterback at 4. I think it is all contingent on if Barkley is available. Either way we would be guaranteed 1 of Allen, Darnold, Rosen. 

 

Agreed. 

 

I think the Giants want Barkley. If he's gone, they'll try to trade down a couple spots and get Nelson. To trade down to 12 I think they'll need us to give up the "farm".

Nothing wrong with his head or arm it's his heart. He is a tennis player wearings a football helmet.

I seriously wonder if McDermott would take Rosen because of his religious beliefs.

Your response is perplexing. Can you elaborate a little more?

Agreed.

 

You don't trade the farm for a guy with major accuracy issues just because he can throw a football 80 yards. 

 

Allen is a long shot of being successful. Rosen, Darnold and Rosen all have significantly higher floors and almost as much upside. 

BUT... Will Josh Rosen's brother be as good as him? I'm not sold yet... too many accuracy issues :)

Rosen is a bust, but Mason Rudolph you like at 12.  Got it.   You could very well be right, but if this were Vegas, I would go all in on those odds. 

I love the draft "experts" who think they know value. If he's your guy you take him at 2 or 12. I think Rudolph is 1000% better than Rosen who has no heart and is made out of glass.

I feel like the accuracy thing is significantly overrated; especially when most of the bias is based on something as trivial and multi-variable as completion percentage.  

 

In two situations where you are able to make a somewhat apples-to-apples comparison, the senior bowl and the combine, Josh Allen was among the most accurate Quarterbacks there.  At the combine specifically he looked like a man amongst boys and it wasn't just the distance but the ball placement as well.  

 

Bottom line is he doesn't just throw hard.  If that was the case, he wouldn't be a top prospect.  He is talented.  His "accuracy" issues have more to do with anticipation and timing than anything wrong with his arm or mechanics.  You know, the kinds of stuff better coaching and teammates can possibly fix.

12. Mason Rudolph QB Oklahoma St 

22.  Harrison Phillips DT Stanford

53. James Washington WR Oklahoma St

56. Josey Jewell ILB Iowa

65. Bradley Boseman C Alabama

96. Darius Leonard OLB South Carolina St

121. Cedrick Wilson WR Boise State

166.  Bo Scarbrough RB Alabama

187. Marquis Hayes Edge Ole Miss

I'd be all in on this draft...  Get a QB that can sit for a year or 2 and fill  A LOT of holes.  Although I'm not sure if Washington is there at 53.

I've come  around on  Josh Allen. I've watched alot of his tape, and he has got immense potential. Rosen is better right now, but in 2-3 years, Allen could  easily be the best QB of this 2018 class. He can make any throw, make  plays with his  feet, run RPO's in our offensive scheme, and with good coaching &  development, I really think he's going to be a good QB for some team.

Plenty of mocks to go around, but Breer is especially plugged in around the league - and he specifically says that he showed the mock to league execs and "didn't get much pushback."  The Josh Allen rumors aren't going away and are either part of an elaborate smokescreen, or...

2. Buffalo (projected trade with N.Y. Giants): Josh Allen, QB, Wyoming
The Bills have done a nice job building capital for a bold swing. This is one. Allen’s potential is limitless, and his big frame and arm are made for Buffalo, though he has a ways to go.

 

 

Perfect Trade up. Wrong Josh

i agree about taking your guy - but how did you arrive at such a slanted report on Rosen?

Both seem rather subjective imo

The issue isn't completion percentage. The issue is that the ball routinely misses its target.

 

Read any Josh Allen scouting report and they all say the same thing; he's not an accurate passer. 

 

Sometimes he misses high, sometimes low, sometimes he's behind, and sometimes he's too far out front. Good luck correcting those problems.  I've watched a lot of videos on Josh Allen, and he misses routine throws all the time. He makes throws within 10 yards of the LOS look challenging. 

 

Also - I couldn't care less about how he looked throwing the ball in shorts against no defense at the combine. EJ Manuel and Jake Locker looked good at the combine. Then they got to the NFL and their accuracy was just as horrible as it was in college.

A QB taken with the 12th pick in the draft should NOT have to "sit for a year or 2."

Again, context.  There is a difference between hitting a target and knowing where that target should be.  Both have an impact on "accuracy," though...Luke Falk is considered accurate because he is a great anticipatory thrower, for example.  But it was clear that all things being equal he cant hit the broad side of a barn, especially at distance.

 

And I am pretty sure there is a defense at the senior bowl.  Those scouting reports said Josh Allen doesn't have touch, but at the senior bowl he made a perfect bucket throw for a TD.  

 

Yes, you have to project a guy like Josh Allen.  That's the NFL front office guys job...But it's not like he came out of nowhere.  He's been on the radar for two years despite the fact that he was playing at a garbage school.  If he really was as inaccurate as you claim, there's no way that happens.
